Anyway, today is the first Free Soup of 2015 and so I did "Hoppin' John Soup". Served it with Chipotle Corn Bread.
Here's the Free Soup Recipe of the Week
Hoppin John Soup
2 onions, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Tomato, chopped
1 Tomato, chopped
3 smallish dried chipotle peppers
2 cans of black eyed peas, drained
1 large can puree tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1lb. ham, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 t. Salt
1T Olive Oil
2 cups cooked Brown Rice
2T Parsley
1T Cumin
1T Garlic Powder
1T Chili Powder
2T Oregano
In a soup pot, cook the onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat until they begin to sweat. Add the chipotle peppers, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and oregano and cook for 3 more minutes. Add the tomato, tomato puree, chicken broth (or stock) and black eyed peas. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Add the ham and heat through.
Now if you are serving it immediately, add the rice when you add the ham. Otherwise, keep the rice separate until ready to serve. I like corn bread with it. But it is also good with black bean corn chips and Fritos.
